OK, this is one I did for me, with my tastes in mind, so it's perhaps a little heavy on the lilac (it's my favourite colour!!) and there is a heck of a long list of links for custom stuff. If I do another (and I might as I enjoyed doing it!!) I'll use more Maxis and less custom!!

To install it you need to replace the CAS!.package in your relevant EP. Eg, I have UNI, NL and OFB so I need to replace it in:
C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Open For Business\TSData\Res\GlobalLots
I recommend renaming the Maxis CAS and leaving it in that folder - I call mine OldCAS! - really original I know!!!
To view this properly, first off you'll need Empty CAS files from Windkeeper
here specifically
wind_CASinvisibleroundpodium.package &
wind_CASinvisibleobjects_differentmirror.package these take away all the Maxis objects, the rug on the floor and replaces the mirror as you see above

Update 06.05.08 - I have scoured Vitasims and can no longer find the abstract picture on the back wall in my first CAS! screen so I have added them as an attachment here. Please be advised though, if anyone from Vitasims complains I'll have to remove them
Update 18.05.08 - I can't find the coat rack on the things4sims.de site, the downloads there seem to be no more so I've added the file
Since Seasons I've been unable to use my CAS coz my poor simmies were freezing to death. I've finally plucked up the courage to try out Numenor's great Any Game Starter and have now got a Seasons proof CAS ... YAY! File is attached for those of you who want the CAS but have Seasons EP
